Asking our employees and colleagues to ‘rate’ us was, quite honestly, intimidating!” “The team projects have been incredible. Working on a project that is far outside my comfort zone and with colleagues I did not know very well, has pushed me professionally and personally.” Yavapai College Executive Leadership Institute

11. © Copyright Showeet.com Free template released by Showeet.com Showeet.com Leaders’ Perspectives “The chief positive experience for me would have to be the increasing feeling of connectedness with the other members of the group, who all represent such an energetic and productive cross-section of YC.” I have benefited from the self-assessments as well as learning the perceptions of others when it comes to my leadership skills, behaviors and communication style, and I have taken to heart the message that it is not always about working on the things I’m not good at, but also about becoming more of what and who I already am.
